She could make the body feel pain. Not just injury, pain. The kind that went beyond bruises and cuts. The kind that made your spine arch without your permission, made your jaw clench until your teeth ached, made your brain forget everything else except the sheer, relentless scream of nerves on fire.
She could force the body to misfire
Make a man's arm swing when he meant to block. Make legs buckle at the wrong second. Make his own reflexes work against him. Like tripping over your own feet while running from danger, except your feet wanted to trip.
And if she pushed just a little further, just a little deeper, she could make everything inside go still. Muscles would lock, breath would freeze, and for one terrible second, the whole body would forget how to function.
